Chapter 4. Version 1.9.5.2

4.1. New Features

4.1.1. Cue Stack audio gain

Added support for setting audio gain on other Cue Stacks via a Cue Stack macro. The Cue Stack Macro D command now supports the following commands:

gain <gain level 0 to 100>

gain <playback> , <gain level 0 to 100>

<playback> is 1 to 202. If <playback> is 0 then the gain is changed on the current playback.

4.1.2. Soft LTP

The implementation of Soft LTP has been improved when cross fading HTP channels with FX. Previously Soft LTP was only available when cross fading HTP channels with base levels.

Soft LTP enables cross fading of intensities between Cue Stacks set as All Channels Controlled LTP. On other Cue Stacks it is not needed - the Cue Stacks will mix HTP channels as HTP.

To set Soft LTP set the following Cue Stack Settings:

Advanced, All Chans Controlled LTP = Yes Faders, Fader Controls HTP = No Faders, Fader Controls LTP = Yes

4.1.3. Other Changes

It is now possible to replace a Group in the Exec Window without first removing the Group. MagicQ will prompt to confirm the replacement. Groups within Regions will maintain their existing Region.

Speed Masters now affect the full Pixel Mapper, overriding the speed set in the Speed Channel in the Pixel Map (Bitmap) heads. MagicQ uses the Playback controlling the FX Type channel to determine which Cue Stack the Pixel Map FX is running from and hence which Speed Master to use.

4.2. Bug Fixes

Fix for releasing Intensity channels with times when Cue Stacks set to All Channels Controlled LTP - they were snapping in recent versions. #0037677

Fix for reset when scrolling Execute Windows - occurs if Exec Window is set to One, Two or Three Fixed Rows. #0037544

Fix for the order of emitters for defaulted emitters, sometimes white and amber got the wrong way round in colour picker. #0037378

Fix for reset which occurred when removing channels from a Cue which had both Group FX and channel FX, and only when all channels were removed from the FX. #0037596

Fix issue introduced in v1.9.4.2 onwards that could affect MQ80 consoles shutting down. #0037296

Fix for importing CSV heads file if the DMX column does not contain the universe information. #0037706

Fix resets caused when Live Copy on a Cue Stack was set up the first time. In some cases the Live Copy would also not work as expected till it had been restarted. #0037784.

Fix for reset when maximum zooming the Scope View in Outputs, View Chans, View DMX. #0037824

Fix for individual fade times not working correctly when reloading using reduced size show file format. The fade times were correctly saved and loaded in the show file, but changes in recent betas meant they did not fade correctly if the general fade time for the Cue was shorter than the individual times. #0037814

Fix for gel selection for multi-emitter and 16 bit fixtures. #0037520
